Sevilla keen on Jonathan Dos Santos

Spanish newspaper Marca understands that Sevilla are stepping up their efforts to sign midfielder Jonathan Dos Santos from Barcelona.

The younger brother of Giovani Dos Santos is widely regarded as the hottest prospect at Camp Nou, but considering the fierce competition for places in midfield , it is highly unlikely that he would get a lot of playing time this season.

Sevilla are prepared to offer the player an escape route and they are willing to take the player on season-long loan.

Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta revealed earlier this week that some of the players would leave the club before the transfer window is over, and there is every chance the young Mexican will be one of those players.

Sevilla are prepared to guarantee the midfielder regular playing time and with the Catalans ready to consider the bid, everything will ultimately depend on the player.

Dos Santos earlier expressed his desire to stay at Camp Nou and impress Tito Vilanova, but with Alex Song arriving to the club this week, he could change his mind an accept an offer from los Rojiblancos.
